No bunads?? We need bunads! Haakon and Sverre Magnus looks wonderful in their traditional outfits. I'm happy to see MM out and about, and equally happy to see Harald and Sonja.

Sverre Magnus has grown up to be a true Viking! Look at how tall he is, and so handsome, too. To me he looks like a mix of his mother and his great-grandfather Olav.

Sverre Magnus is gorgeous! Holly is right - he's a viking!

I'm sad to see Mette-Marit needing oxygen and a chair. Her health is declining, and that's hard to see in someone her age.

I don't know why the bunads stayed home. If for no other reason, M-M needs good press and a reason for the public to feel endeared towards her. A bunad would have gone a long way.

It is somewhat of a shock to see Mette-Marit on oxygen therapy and having to sit down during the celebrations. Her disease is progressing and that is tragic.
Viewing the photos of the family, at times it appears that it's all too much for them while smiling and waving, especially Queen Sonja.

She's wearing a bunad and celebrated with fellow Norwegians in Australia. Our lioness is beautiful!
